About The Chase Care Centre
The Chase Care Centre provides permanent and respite residential and nursing care, including dementia care, for older people and younger adults. Residents can receive support after hospital discharge, during a temporary placement or when ongoing nursing supervision is required.
The home combines care planning with activities, entertainment and communal dining. Teams keep residents and families informed, while the wider Healthcare Homes group provides residential, nursing, dementia and respite services across the South and East of England. The setting supports people whose needs require residential care, with permanent and temporary placements available. Respite after hospital stays is one of the clearest practical uses of the service.

Questions families ask
How much does The Chase Care Centre cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Chase Care Centre for its weekly fee. As a guide, Hertfordshire council paid on average £1,043 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask The Chase Care Centre whether it takes residents funded by Hertfordshire council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
